Good catch. They should be in dress uniform if they're raising a flag for the first time at an embassy. Is it because Venezuela is still a combat zone or are we throwing shade at Delcy?

America has just suffered a decisve defeat at the hands of Venezuela. A turning point in the conflict.
They lost the World Baseball Classic (hit-a-ball-with-a-stick-sportsball). They are even declaring that today, the 18th (1:10 AM Caracas time) is going to be a national holiday.
What do you think about that, bish? How does that makes you feel?
Trump seems to be happy about it.

Maduro was back in court yesterday. Judge refused to dismiss the case because Maduro was black bagged by the Army. Maduro's attorneys are now arguing that his defense should be paid for by the Venezuelan government or at least, from his frozen bank accounts. The US Attorneys are arguing Maduro was an illegitimate President who should not have access to Venezuelan state funds, and the funds in his own bank accounts were stolen from the Venezuelan tax payers.
As Maduro and Cilia Flores, his wife and co-defendant, looked on in beige jail uniforms, his lawyers argued that the U.S. is violating the deposed leader's constitutional rights by blocking Venezuelan government money from being used for the couple's legal costs. The U.S. government hasn't let the funds flow because of sanctions against the South American country.
Judge Alvin Hellerstein questioned why the prosecution's argument still stands, now that U.S. and Venezuelan relations have warmed. Since Maduro's capture by U.S. military forces in January, Venezuela and the U.S. have reestablished diplomatic relations, Washington has eased economic sanctions on Venezuela's crucial oil industry, and the U.S. has dispatched a chargé d'affaires to Caracas.
"We have changed the situation in Venezuela," Hellerstein observed, suggesting that the argument for continuing to block the defense funds has changed with it: "The current paramount goal and need and constitutional right is the right to defense."
He didn't issue a ruling, however, nor say when he will.
As supporters and opponents rallied outside, Maduro and Flores made their first court appearance since a January arraignment at which he declared: "I am not guilty. I am a decent man, the constitutional president of my country." Flores has also pleaded not guilty.
A 25-page indictment accused Maduro and others of working with drug cartels and members of the military to facilitate the shipment of thousands of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He and Flores also are accused of ordering kidnappings, beatings and murders of those who owed them drug money or undermined their trafficking operation. If convicted, they face life in prison.
Maduro and Flores remain jailed in Brooklyn, and neither has asked to be released on bail. Hellerstein has yet to set a trial date.
In Caracas, hundreds of people gathered at a public plaza, including ruling party supporters, state employees and civilian militia members. One attendee, retiree Eduardo Cubillan, said he was there to pray for Maduro and Flores and condemn the violation of Venezuela's sovereignty during the Jan. 3 operation.
"We hope that in the United States, if justice truly exists, a trial will be held that will lead to President Maduro's freedom, because this kidnapping violated international legal principles, and we want justice to be served," Cubillan, 80, said.
Maduro, 63, and Flores, 69, continue to enjoy some support in Venezuela, with murals and billboards across Caracas demanding their return. But while Maduro's ruling party remains in power, he has slowly been erased from the government of Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela's acting president.
Rodríguez has replaced senior officials including Maduro's faithful defense minister and attorney general. She has reorganized agencies, appointed ambassadors and eliminated tenets of the self-proclaimed socialist movement that has ruled Venezuela for more than two decades.
In court Thursday, Hellerstein cut off Flores' lawyer, Mark Donnelly, when he referred to her as "the first lady," telling him: "There are no titles to be used in this court."
As the hearing was ending, Maduro held up two fingers in a "V," a gesture that has become a symbol in Venezuela — portrayed in murals with the slogan "Nosotros Venceremos," or "We Shall Overcome" — since he flashed it upon arriving in New York in January.
"Hasta mañana," he said, shaking hands with Pollack before officers escorted him out.
Allowing them to use Venezuelan government funds to defend themselves in a case arising from that conduct would "undermine the sanctions," Wirshba said.
The U.S. has said Maduro and Flores can use personal funds to pay his lawyers. They have said they don't have the money.
Maduro lawyer Barry Pollack contended that if Maduro got public defenders, the complex case would sap legal resources meant for people who can't afford their own attorneys. That doesn't make sense, he argued, in "a case where you have someone other than the U.S. taxpayer standing ready, willing and able to fund that defense."
Pollack wants the case thrown out, but Hellerstein ruled out doing so — at least for now, saying he didn't want to consider "such a serious step" when another remedy is available. He said Pollack could revisit the request if the Treasury Department doesn't relent on its decision to bar Venezuela from paying Maduro's legal fees.
Trump said Maduro would be given "a fair trial."
Post-Maduro, everyday life for most Venezuelans remains the same.
Many public-sector employees earn just about $160 per month, while the average private-sector worker makes about $237. Last year the annual inflation rate soared to 475%, according to Venezuela's central bank, putting the cost of food and other essentials beyond the reach of many.
Judge weighs whether Venezuela can pay Maduro's legal costs in US drug trafficking case
NEW YORK — A U.S. judge pressed the Trump administration Thursday about its basis for barring Venezuela's government from paying former President Nicolás Maduro's legal fees in the drug trafficking case that has put him behind bars in New York.As Maduro and Cilia Flores, his wife and co-defendant, looked on in beige jail uniforms, his lawyers argued that the U.S. is violating the deposed leader's constitutional rights by blocking Venezuelan government money from being used for the couple's legal costs. The U.S. government hasn't let the funds flow because of sanctions against the South American country.

Maduro and Flores remain jailed in Brooklyn, and neither has asked to be released on bail. Hellerstein has yet to set a trial date.
Rallies held before court hearing
In a noisy scene outside the Manhattan courthouse, contrasting groups of demonstrators chanted, blew horns and beat drums and cowbells. Among Maduro critics, one person waved a sign reading "Maduro rot in prison." On the other side of a metal barrier, people held signs reading "Free President Maduro."In Caracas, hundreds of people gathered at a public plaza, including ruling party supporters, state employees and civilian militia members. One attendee, retiree Eduardo Cubillan, said he was there to pray for Maduro and Flores and condemn the violation of Venezuela's sovereignty during the Jan. 3 operation.

Funding for defense a key early issue
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle Wirshba noted that the sanctions, in place long before Maduro and Flores were charged, were driven by allegations that Maduro's government was cracking down on free speech and plundering Venezuelan wealth.Allowing them to use Venezuelan government funds to defend themselves in a case arising from that conduct would "undermine the sanctions," Wirshba said.
The U.S. has said Maduro and Flores can use personal funds to pay his lawyers. They have said they don't have the money.

Trump comments on the case
During a Cabinet meeting Thursday in Washington, President Donald Trump accused Maduro of being a "major purveyor of drugs coming into our country."Trump said Maduro would be given "a fair trial."

How? That is the issue, dissarming a non centralized armed insurgency is not easy.
There have been a lot of arrests of businessmen and leaders of Chavismo, probably to get them to testify against churroman itself.
The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a bipartisan resolution requiring the State Department to present a clear strategy to support a democratic transition in Venezuela. The legislative body confirmed the progress of the measure, which would compel the U.S. administration to create a formal plan for the country.
This measure would require Secretary of State Marco Rubio to present a clear strategy to Congress, setting a 180-day deadline for achieving the transition.
Mixed feeelings on this.

To do tldr
- Some parts of the chavizmo detest every time Trump humour us becoming the 51st state but are to chickenshit to do anything except complain in the congress while their votes are ignored
- The old guard attempted to blackmail businessmans to make them pay for Maduro defense lawyer, no one has taken the offer because they value their visas more than Maduro and are aware they cant do anything anymore
- The cleansing inside the army has been so throught that now is forbidden to do political propaganda, no more chavez vive, no more esequibo wanking everything is been deleted
- Make a entire meeting talking against Machado saying PDVSA will get privatized , little after they were in a meeting with chevron
- Tarek did not quit at first he was demoted from AG to "People defender" a meaningless and powerless position, it is say that he raged and bitched about it and threatened to drop epstein files tier of dirt on everyone but he was "convinced" to leave
- X users like me noticed that the Chavizmo stopped having #1 trending topics for a while, the reason was the guys that managed the farms did not get paid and their "journalists" were bitching on delcy socials asking to be paid, they got blocked instead
- Delcy did a very cringe livestream for people on miami that were going to invest on venezuela, did a nothingburger speech and in the moment they were going to ask questions she cut transmissions, the amusing part is that the people present shrugged it off with "as expected but doesnt matter we are not going to make business with her anyway"
- Maduro has been completely memory holed all the promises Delcy said about letting a embassy here because it was the only way to give Maduro legal representation was a lie, he is treated at a non issue that is now america problem
